Headed to the chap-el and I’m gon-na get… ditched? That’s not the way the song goes!
Apparently someone forgot to tell the writers of popular US drama, Grey’s Anatomy.
Fellow celebrity blog, The Bosh reports that in the finale, Isaiah’s character Dr. Preston Burke is passed over for the hospitals chief of surgery job and storms out of his wedding to Sandra Oh’s Dr. Cristina Yang. It’s a clear sign that Isaiah is getting the boot in real life from the show.
T.R. Knight’s character Dr. George O’Malley finds that he failed his final exam to become a doctor – and decides not to repeat his internship.
According to Enquirer’s insider, “Isaiah’s exit isn’t surprising, and T. R. never really got over the gay slur incident and was very disappointed with the way it was. Producers begged him to stay and they’ve left the door open for his return. But, right now, he has no intention of coming back.”
This doesn’t have that much to do with Sandra Oh but it’s still interesting, donchathink? [The Bosh]

Here’s another picture post. Rather than the obvious concept of Asian beauty, I thought I’d challenge your view of conventional aesthetics by featuring someone most people either are gaga or gagging about… not much middle ground on this one. May the Dumpling introduce to you, Devon Aoki… here’s some background info for ya:
Anyone familiar with the knife wielding skills of Japanese chefs at restaurant chain, Benihana’s, should be familiar with Devon Aoki. Born in New York City but raised in California and London, Devon’s, Japanese father is Rocky Aoki, a former Olympic wrestler and owner of the Benihana restaurant chain. Her mother, Pamela Hilburger, is a jewelry designer of English and German heritage and her brother, Steve Aoki, is a well-known Los Angeles, California DJ.
At the age of thirteen, Devon was discovered in New York at a concert she had gatecrashed and began modeling soon after for fashion houses Lancôme, Chanel, and Versace. At 5 ft 5 in, Aoki is known as the world’s shortest supermodel but was able to parlay her talents into films such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, D.E.B.S., Sin City and Dead or Alive and music videos for Duran Duran, Ginuwine, The Killers and Ludacris.
